Long Term Monitoring and Tracking Report on 2008 Activities
Market transformation initiatives are long-term in nature. The development and launching of new products and services can be visualized as an “S”-shaped diffusion curve with relatively little market impact in the initial years and the major market effects occurring several years after an initiative is launched. The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) tracks the progress…

Long Term Monitoring and Tracking Report on 2007
The Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance (NEEA) tracks the market progress of its projects during their implementation phase through periodic Market Progress Assessment Reports (MPERs). However, since market diffusion often occurs after NEEA funding has ceased, NEEA also needs a mechanism for tracking ongoing market progress in the post-funding period so that it can verify key…

The U.S. DHP market differs significantly from overseas markets. Almost all residential HVAC systems in Asia and a vast majority of systems in Europe are ductless, while only a small percentage of homes in the U.S. utilize DHP technology. Slower U.S. adoption rates can be explained partly by cultural differences and partly by differences in…
